President Trump has nominated Kari Lake to serve as ambassador to Jamaica, according to a post from the Daily Caller. The nomination comes as Lake also holds a role at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.
Lake was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2024 to her position at the agency. President Trump directed Lake to dismantle the agency that oversees Voice of America. A federal judge's ruling later halted Lake's efforts to carry out the president's directive.
The nomination marks the latest development in Lake's transition from two high-profile statewide campaigns in Arizona to roles in international diplomacy and federal media oversight.
